Johnston had no problem Sunday advancing the pregame storyline that the Bears might be overlooking the dreadful Bills, what with five division games coming up. He didn’t fully ditch the idea until the middle of the second quarter with the Bears up by two touchdowns.

Yet when play-by-play partner Chris Myers wondered aloud about “how much fight Buffalo has in them here” after ceding the Bears a 28-0 first-half lead, Johnston would have none of it.

“Oh, they’ll have fight,” Johnston shot back. “They’re coached by Sean McDermott. They’ll have some fight in the second half.”

Who knew McDermott was the second coming of Knute Rockne?

And given the fact they lost 41-9 to fall to 2-7, who’s to say whether the Bills quit or if it mattered what they decided to do?

The fact McDermott’s Bills won just four games last season — two against the 6-10 Dolphins — after a 5-2 start in his first season hardly suggests resilience.

But if a lack of “fight” implies a sort of unprofessionalism, so too does the idea that a team looks past a weak opponent.

“There (were) some rumblings about (attempts) going into the Jets game and now the Bills game to get Allen Robinson healthy, to get Khalil Mack healthy. Boy, if they’re ready to play, I’d put them out there on the field because anything can happen on a Sunday afternoon.”

Not to overlook the obvious, but “anything” includes not missing Robinson and Mack in the lineup even a little against Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman.

Too cheesy to digest: If Johnston sticking to the “overlook” script too long was annoying, his effort to wedge in a sponsor plug was downright noxious.

After the second of back-to-back penalties on Bears left tackle Charles Leno, Bills fans briefly awoke. Whether they made enough noise to be a factor was questionable. Even more dubious was Johnston’s comment about it.

Myers may or may not have been offering his own commentary in his segue to commercial after Eddie Jackson’s fumble return for a Bears touchdown a bit later.

“Crickets in Buffalo. It’s 14-nothing, Bears,” Myers said.

Cricket also buys NFL ad time.

No tip for you: Two replays and an announcement by the game official weren’t enough to help Myers and Johnston grasp why Kyle Fuller’s hit on the Bills’ Zay Jones, leading to Leonard Floyd’s interception and touchdown in the second quarter, wasn’t pass interference.

The two announcers kept talking about whether the ball was tipped first by Akiem Hicks or Fuller and ignored the call that Fuller’s “contact was at the line of scrimmage.”

Only after a third replay — which, like the first, included a superimposed blue line of scrimmage — did Myers and Johnston finally seem to get what happened and why Fuller’s play was legal.

One good thing about the Bears winning games will be networks assigning better announcing teams.

Good record equals good ratings: Winning has other rewards. “The Matt Nagy Show” is beating the stuffing out of “The John Fox Show,” with local Nielsen ratings for the Bears at the midway point up 34 percent over their numbers through eight games a year ago.

Sunday’s game averaged a 26.54 household rating on FOX-32, or almost 863,000 TV homes in the Chicago market.

Nagy’s 5-3 2018 Bears have averaged a 27.1 household rating to date, while Fox’s 3-5 2017 Bears averaged a 20.2 rating in the market halfway to their 5-11 finish.

What does ‘limited’ mean to you? We should have seen this coming, perhaps. But you know that “limited edition” of 2,016 Pat Hughes 2016 CubsWorld Series bobbleheads put up for sale Friday on the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum website?

They sold out within hours, so a second version with Pat wearing a red shirt instead of a blue shirt — as if that mattered — will be produced by FOCO Entertainment and may be ordered through the museum site (bobbleheadhall.com) for delivery scheduled in February.
